Use of the manual
• Anyone who uses the machine should have read the
entire manual with extreme care.
• All users should be familiar with the operations for use
of the machine under absolutely safe conditions as
described in this manual, and should be instructed in
the proper cutting techniques to use, possibly by
practical demonstration.
• Do not allow children or persons who are not familiar
with these instructions and are not sufficiently trained
to use the brush cutter. Local regulations may specify
an age limit for users.
• Keep this manual with the machine when selling
or lending it, to enable the future users to familiar-
ize themselves with the product and instructions
for safe use.
• All parts of the manual are equally important for the
purpose of preventing injury to the operator or dam-
age to the machine. To facilitate your reading, section
B is divided into parts that can be called up in the rest
of the manual, marked with the "CAUTION" symbol
followed by the number of the corresponding para-
graph, to concentrate your attention on the main
safety procedures related to a particular situation.
Prior to use
• Respect of the procedures described in this manual
does not eliminate the risks of accidents but does
reduce the probability of their occurring or the effect
of the damage.
• If you have never used a brush cutter before, prac-
tice using it for a while before actually starting to
work with it.
• The operator or user is responsible for any damages
to third parties or their property, and for any dangers
to which they may be subject.
• Do not use this machine for any other purpose than
that for which it was designed, using the proper cut-
ting devices as indicated in the instructions.
• Do not use the machine if you are tired, in poor health
or under the effects of alcohol or medication that
could affect your reactions.
• Make sure you know how to stop the engine and
blade if necessary (see section entitled "Starting and
stopping the engine").
Inspect the machine carefully before every use, in
case of violent impact or signs of malfunction.
Make sure the machine is correctly assembled, and all
its parts are working properly. Make sure the screws are
all in place and securely tightened. Check operation of
the accelerator control block and make sure there is no
leakage of fuel. Check that the cutting tool does not
move with the motor running at idle speed. Make sure
the transmission pipe is properly fastened to the motor
joint and the line cutter head or blade are correctly fas-
tened with the screw fastening the blade fully tightened.
Replace any accessories (blades, nylon string
heads, guards) which show damage or cracks or
appear excessively worn. Have your Authorized Service
Center replace any damaged parts. For nylon string
heads, use only strings made of flexible material recom-
mended by the manufacturer. For example, you should
never use metal wire because it could cause serious
injuries to people, property and animals. An unsuitable
string could break and turn into a very dangerous mis-
sile. In mounting the cutting utensils follow the instruc-
tions in the chapter entitled "Usable cutting tools and
their installation on the machine". ABSOLUTELY DO
NOT USE THE BRUSH CUTTER IF THE SPECIFIC
SAFETY GUARD FOR THE CUTTING DEVICE IN USE
IS NOT SECURELY FASTENED (see chapter
"Assembly/disassembly"). Failure to follow this rule can
expose you to serious danger such as:
• possible contact with rotating and cutting parts;
• possible contact with flying debris.
Never use a brush cutter without its safety pole
guard correctly in place. Only use blades or nylon
string heads clearly marked with a maximum speed
of at least 10,500 min-1.
Use only original or approved accessories and
spare parts, which you can purchase from our
official distributors. The use of other accessories and
spare parts increases the danger of injury and in this
case the manufacturer has no liability for damage to
persons or property. Never attempt to use the machine
if it is incomplete, defective or has been altered by any-
one other than an Authorized Service Center. The risk of
accidents increases considerably if maintenance is not
carried our regularly in a professional way. In case of
doubt contact an authorized service center.
All operations of maintenance, assembly, disas-
sembly and fueling should be done with the

machine on a flat, solid surface so that the motor can-
not turn over, in a stable position with the motor off,
the switch turned to O/STOP, the cutting tool stopped
and wearing adequate protective gloves.
Apparel
Dress suitably for the job; wear approved personal
protection gear:
•
Closely fitting protective clothing (do not wear shorts or
loose clothing). Do not wear jewelry that could get
caught in moving parts of the machine.
•
Safety boots with non-slip sole, crush-resistant toe cap
and protection against cuts (do not wear sandals or
work barefoot).
•
Sturdy gloves resistant to cuts and vibrations.
•
Safety visor or protective goggles. Remove the protec-
tive film if any.
•
Hearing protection.
•
Hard hat (if there is any risk of falling objects).
Health precautions
Avoid prolonged use. Noise and vibrations may be
dangerous. Prolonged use of the machine or other
equipment expose the operator to vibrations that can
cause the White Finger Syndrome (Syndrome of
Raynaud). This could reduce the sensitivity of the hands in
distinguishing different temperatures and cause a general
numbness. The operator should therefore check the con-
ditions of the hands and fingers if the machine is used
continuously or regularly. If one of the symptoms should
appear, consult a doctor immediately. Prolonged use of
the machine or other equipment can cause discomfort,
stress, fatigue, hearing damage. Wear suitable hearing
protection when using the machine. Correct and scrupu-
lous maintenance can also help to protect you further
from the risk of noise and vibration.
Avoid contact of the eyes and skin with any oil or
fuel. Do not inhale the gasoline fumes as they are
toxic. Do not start or run the motor in closed or poorly
ventilated places. The exhaust fumes are poisonous to
breathe and can be asphyxiating and even fatal.
Work zone
Examine the work area and be careful of any haz-
ards (such as roads, driveways, power lines, hang-
ing tree limbs, etc.). Take special care when working on
sloping terrain. Before use, remove any rubbish from the
work area such as rocks, broken glass, ropes, metal
parts, cans, bottles and any foreign body that could
become entangled with rotating parts or be projected
dangerously at a distance. Take account of possible haz-
ards that may not be perceived because of the noise of
the machine. Make sure there is someone in the vicinity
within safe calling distance in case of accident.
During use
During use and for a few minutes after switching off
the machine, the gearbox and zone near the shaft
on which the cutting device is fastened are very hot. The
muffler and its guard are very hot during use and after the
engine has been switched off, even with the engine run-
ning at minimum speed. Contact can cause burns. Do
not touch these parts if they are still hot.
Twigs or grass may jam between the safety guard
and the blade or nylon string head. Never try to
remove this material with the engine running and/or the
blade rotating. Watch out for the rotating parts and hot
surfaces of the machine. Contact between the blades
and any extraneous objects could cause serious injury to
the operator or other people or animals in the vicinity, and
could also damage the machine. Cut only the material
recommended for each accessory and take care not to
let the blades come into contact with rocks, metal parts,
etc. The blade is sharp, so be very careful when handling
it even with the engine off.
Keep any other persons or animals away from the
work zone (minimum distance 15 meters). Since
there is a danger when you are working that the blade or
nylon string head could throw out grass, dirt, rocks or for-
eign bodies, when someone approaches switch the
engine off or stop the blade or rotating head (see section
entitled "Starting and stopping the engine"). Fasten your
hair above shoulder length. Start the machine in a flat
place, in a stable position, making sure the cutting tool
does not touch any obstacles. Use the machine holding it
to the right of your body so that the exhaust fumes can
escape freely without obstruction from your clothing. While
working, grip the brush cutter firmly with both hands.
Stand in a stable position on your feet. Keep the grips
clean and dry. Do not use the brush cutter while standing
on a ladder or other unstable support. You should always
be able to control your balance. Never use the machine
under extreme weather conditions or in bad weather (very
low temperatures, very hot, humid climate, fog, rain, wind,
etc.). Keep all parts of your body and clothing away from
the blades during startup or when the engine is running.
During use, keep the work zone in front of you. Never cut
walking backwards as you cannot see possible hazards.
Do not put the machine down with the engine running.
Never leave the machine alone. Never raise the brush cut-
ter above knee level during cutting.
Adjust the shaft fastening buckle so that the blade
or line cutter head are parallel to the ground. The
connection point should be held in the original position so
as to avoid unbalancing the shaft.
Precautions for carrying the machine
Never carry the brush cutter, even for short
distances, with the engine running. Switch off
the engine and carry it with the blade or nylon
string head facing backward. For your safety, dur-
ing transport and storage, always protect the
blade with the guard supplied with the machine
(see "Protection for transport"). When you trans-
port the brush cutter in a motor vehicle, place it in
a stable fixed position so that no fuel leaks out. We
recommend emptying the fuel tank whenever you
transport the machine.
Fire prevention precautions
Never work with the brush cutter in the presence
of fire or spilled gasoline. If you have spilt it on your-
self, change your clothes at once. Keep the machine
clean by removing any grass cuttings, leaves, excess oil to
reduce the fire hazard. Engine exhaust fumes can get very

Safety lever
Never use the machine with its Safety lever
pressed with adhesive tape, string or other.
This device serves to prevent accidentally press-
ing the throttle trigger (fig. A no. 3). In fact, the
trigger (fig. A no. 3), can only be pressed if the
safety lever is pressed at the same time (fig. A no.
19). By means of 2 separate springs, upon
releasing the grip, the throttle trigger (fig. A no. 3)
and safety lever (fig. A no. 19) return automatically
to their original positions.
Engine stop device
Turn the stop button Stop (fig. A no. 7) to O /
STOP to stop the engine. To make sure this but-
ton works properly, start the engine and check
that it stops when the Stop button is turned to
the Stop position.
Protection for transport
Never use a machine with the blade cover
still on.
The guard covers the sharp extremities of the
blade when the machine is in the resting position
for transport or storage.
Safety guard
This very important safety device (fig. A no.19)
prevents any objects that come into contact with
the cutting device, or the grass itself, from flying
up and striking the operator.
Safety pole guard
This device, fastened to the machine, ensures a
minimum distance between the operator and the
cutting device during use, and prevents the
machine from striking and injuring the operator if
the blade hits a hard surface (fig. A no. 20).
Muffler
The muffler serves to reduce the noise level to a
minimum and to route the exhaust fumes pro-
duced by the combustion engine away from the
operator.

hot and may contain sparks. Do not use the machine
near inflammable material. The muffler gets very hot during
use and remains hot for some time after switching off the
engine. This also applies at idle speed. Take every precau-
tion to reduce the fire hazard, especially in the presence of
inflammable materials or gas. Start the engine at a dis-
tance from the filling site and far away from any fuel tanks
(at least 3 meters).
When filling the fuel tank, dry any spilled fuel. Never
add fuel in the tank when the engine is running or
hot to avoid the risk of fire (let the engine cool off before fill-
ing the tank). Fill the tank outdoor, far from flames or
sparks. Do not take the cap off the tank with the engine
running. Open the cap on the tank carefully to eliminate
any excess pressure. After fueling, close the cap tightly.
Take care not to spill any fuel. The fumes produced by the
fuel can cause an explosion or fire. Gasoline is highly
inflammable: before going near any type of fuel, put out
your cigarette, pipe or cigar. Do not smoke or take
sources of heat or sparks near the fuel. Never refuel near
or over inflammable objects (dry leaves, etc..).
Kickback
Machines equipped with blades may produce a
violent kickback on contact with solid bodies. The
force of the kickback can cause the operator to lose con-
trol of the machine. The blade is capable of amputating
arms and legs. Always work with a sharp blade. A blade
with worn teeth can create problems in cutting and can
cause KICKBACK, that is, a violent thrust on the front of
the machine caused by the impact of the blade against
wood or solid foreign bodies. This kickback can cause
loss of control of the machine. Never sharpen a damaged
blade: replace with a new one. Kickback can also occur
when cutting with any type of blade in the hazardous
zone (see I3). Do not let the blade cut in the risk sector to
prevent kickback.
Precautions for operating a split shaft machine
If your machine is a split shaft model, that is to say
composed of a power unit (1) and an attachment
(2), you must furthermore conform to the following rules:
Never turn on the machine without an attachment cor-
rectly fitted. Before every start check the attachment/shaft
joint and the attachment to be assembled correcty and in
excellent conditions.
This manual is meant to be: the manual of the power unit;
the manual of the string head/grass blade attachment
and, moreover, if not explicitly stated otherways, it refers to
the two units as already assembled in ther proper way
(see chapter E6. attachments fitting/removal).
When using other attachments, carefully read their instruc-
tion manual and make sure you understand them before
using . This machines allows the fitting of the following
attachments only: UNIVERSAL OUTDOOR ACCES-
SORIES - Hedge Cutter Attachment.

Harness
CAUTION! It is very important to famil-
iarize yourself with the release mecha-
nism. In case of emergency you need to be
able to release the machine quickly.
The harness is equipped with a fasten-release
mechanism. The harness enables the operator to
support the machine during use (see “Safety pre-
cautions”, B7).
ENGLISH - 5
Preparation of the mixture
Do not use any other type of fuel than the
type recommended in this manual. This
machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine
and should therefore be fueled with a mixture of
unleaded gasoline (with a minimum octane rating
= 90) and fully synthetic oil specific for two-speed
engines that use unleaded gasoline in the propor-
tions indicated in the table on the cover, fig. D.
Control the specifications of the oil shown
on the package; the use of oil lacking the
specifications expressly indicated in this manual
could cause serious damage to the engine!
To obtain the best mixture, pour the oil into an
approved container first, followed by the gasoline,
and shake the container well (every time you take
fuel out of it).
The characteristics of the mixture tend to deteriorate
in time, so you should only prepare as much mixture
as you are going to need (the use of deteriorated
fuel can seriously damage the engine).
Filling the tank
Clean the area around the fuel cap before remov-
ing it, to prevent any impurities from contaminat-
ing the fuel. Take the cap off the fuel container
carefully. Unscrew the cap on the fuel tank and fill
it with the necessary quality, using a funnel.
During use, to prevent problems in starting the
engine again, we strongly recommend that you
avoid letting the fuel run out in the tank.
Fuel storage
Store the fuel in a cool, well-ventilated
place, in an approved fuel storage container.
Never store the engine with fuel in the tank in a
poorly ventilated place where the fumes produced
by the gasoline could propagate and reach a fire,
candle, burner or furnace pilot light, water heater,
dryer, etc. Never store excessive quantities of
fuel.

Safety guard extension (exclusively for use
with nylon string head)
• The extension (B) should be installed only for
use with the nylon string head, with the aid of
the string cutter blade (L), that regulates the
length of the string and thus the cutting diame-
ter.
• For correct assembly see the illustration on the
cover and perform the following sequence of
steps:
• Insert the extension (B) on the safety guard (A)
at the reference notches (C), and fasten with
the screws (D), then apply the string cutter
blade (L) with the cutting edge facing towards
the outside of the shield, and fasten it with the
screw (E) (Make sure the screws are tightened
all the way (E) and are not loosened by the
vibrations. If necessary, tighten them again).
CAUTION! If you are using the grass cut-
ting blade, remove the extension (B) on the
guard (A).

one of its housings, finally lock firmly the joint
knob (B).
2) To remove the attachment from the power unit:
loosen the joint knob(1), push the locking pin
(2) and, keeping it pressed, remove attach-
ment’s shaft from the joint(3).
3) Every attachment manual explains through a
picture in which ways each attachment can be
assembled on the power unit: a configuration
is forbidden if crossed, if marked with “NO”
and/or the symbol ✗, or if it isn’t shown at all.
A configuration is allowed if marked with “OK”
and/or the symbol .
The figure shows assembling configurations
allowed for the string head/grass blade attach-
ment (with the rules defined in the previous para-
graph, it is forbidden to assemble the string
head/grass blade attachment with the locking pin
in both left and right housings, allowing its
assembling in the upper housing only).

Cutting techniques
During the cutting operations, keep the
engine running at high speed. After every
cutting stage, decelerate the engine to minimum
speed as running it at top speed without a load
can damage the engine severely.
Wait until the engine is running at minimum
speed before moving the machine from one
section to another.
The machine is ideal to complete the work of the
lawnmover. In fact, it can reach places where a

G. Carburetor adjustment
Your machine can be equipped with a low emis-
sion carburetor. We recommend that you have
any adjustment of the carburetor made exclusive-
ly by an authorized service center, which disposes
of special equipment for ensuring the best per-
formance with the lowest emissions. To adjust the
speed to the minimum, turn the screw marked (T)
as shown: With the engine running and well
warmed up, turn the screw (T) gently clockwise,
until the engine rotates at regular speed (stead
noise), without the cutting devices in motion. If
the cutting devices are moving, turn the screw (T)
gently counterclockwise until you obtain the prop-
er adjustment. The correct minimum speed is
shown in the instruction manual in the paragraph
of technical data.
All the above adjustments should be made
with the cutting devices correctly installed.
The warranty may be invalidated due to erro-
neous adjustments made by personnel not
belonging to authorized service centers.

H1. After every use
In order to avoid overheating the motor, remove
any dust and dirt from the slots on the cylinder
cover and finds of the cylinder using a wooden
scraper. Store the machine in a dry place.
After 25 hours of use
Remove the filter as shown in the figure and clean
it using a gentle jet of compressed air. For more
thorough cleansing, you can wash it with soapy
water.
After 50 hours of use
Add some high speed gear grease in the gearbox
through hole (C). Remove and clean the spark
plug (set the space between the electrode at
0.5/0.6 mm). Replace if excessively encrusted. In
case of excessive encrustation check the carbu-
retor adjustment, the percentage of oil in the fuel
mixture and make sure the oil is of excellent quali-
ty and suitable for two-stroke engines.
After 100 hours of use
Replace the spark plug.
Every three months
Contact your Service Center for a complete over-
haul, replacement of the fuel filter and cleaning of
the parts inside the machine. This will reduce the
possibility of unexpected problems and will
ensure the good performance and long life of
your machine.
Periods of prolonged disuse
See "Environmental information".
If you use the machine in an exceptionally
dirty or dusty environment these operations
should be carried out more often.
H2. Replacement of nylon string
To replace the reel of string, press both the
release pawls indicated by the arrows, remove
the empty reel, unroll any string left and rewind
the new string. Open the original package of
string and insert the ends of the two strings in the
eyelets on the reel, then wind the strings com-
pletely on the reel in the same direction and fas-
ten the end of each string in the 2 opposite
grooves. Replace the reel in its housing and
thread the ends of the strings in their bushings.
Pull each string so that about 15 cm comes out
on each side. Reassemble the nylon string head
as shown. If the reel becomes excessively worn,
replace it with a whole new reel.
H3. Attachments maintenance
Follow maintenance instructions on the attach-
ment manual.

Cutting and trimming grass borders with the
nylon string head
Cutting with the nylon string head is suitable for
light jobs like trimming borders and cutting the
grass around trees.
Mowing
To prevent damage to your lawn or the cutting
mechanism, keep the string parallel to the ground
but avoid contact with the terrain.
Trimming borders
Angle the nylon string head keeping it a short dis-
tance from the ground. Cut using the end of the
string. Do not press the string against the material
to be cut.
I1. Drawing out the string
During cutting, the nylon string wears naturally
causing an increase in the speed of the engine
and a reduced cutting capacity. When this hap-
pens, to bring out more string bump the head
against the ground: release the throttle trigger to
reduce the engine speed to less than 8000 rpm.
Tap gently on the ground with the button (A) as
shown in the figure and the string will come out
automatically. Accelerate again. If the string does
not come out make sure there is still some left
and try again.
I2. Thinning grass with the grass cutter blade
The grass is cut with swinging motions from side
to side, maintaining the blade parallel to the
ground. During the right to left swing the grass is
cut, while the backswing must be made without
using the blade.
KICKBACK can occur when cutting is done with
the risk sector of the blade; we recommend cutting
with the rest of the blade. Take care that the cup
supporting the blade just grazes the ground. This
will prevent the blade from touching the ground.
This section contains information useful for main-
taining the characteristics of eco-compatibility
included in the origin design of the machine, and
as regards proper use and disposal of oil and fuel.
Design
In the design stage, care was taken to develop an
engine with reduced consumption and low emis-
sions of noise and pollutant exhaust fumes.
Use of machine
The operations of filling the tank with the fuel mix-
ture should be carried out in such a way as to
avoid spilling fuel and contaminating the soil and
environment.
Periods of prolonged disuse
Always empty the fuel tank with the same precau-
tions used in filling it.
Disposal
Do not dispose inappropriately of the machine
when it is no longer usable. Deliver it to an
authorized organization for proper disposal in
compliance with the regulations in force.
